During a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to secure the ugly win.

Defensive Display Wins Contest

Even with registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a safety in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards throughout the entire game.

Nix, who went 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's 27-yard field goal with approximately five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

Despite their dismal performance, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to score a possible winning score. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

Fields struggled all game, connecting on just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was non-existent," the coach commented after the contest.
